"Brother, I'm sorry!"

In Anlu City, after learning about the military situation in Hanzhong, Cao Zhang, then the prefect of Jiangxia, immediately cried out in pain and angrily cut off almost everything in the house with the sword in his hand.

Guoyuan advised: "Young Master, please calm down. Han Sui is cunning, Lu Bu is brave, and the prince... Alas, I can't blame him. As the prefect of Jiangxia, our responsibility is to guard the side. Now that the war is in corruption, Sun Quan and Sun Ce may make a comeback. It's better to take care of your own affairs first."

"Calm down? My father has been fighting for more than ten years since Chen Liu's army, and has fought for more than a hundred battles of all sizes. This is why my Cao family has achieved the power of today. But what is the result? This battle of the second brother has defeated my father's hard work over the years! Why do he think he is better than Uncle Chun? He is worthy of the general in the Western Expedition?!"

For a moment, Cao Zhang's liver was so angry that he felt so painful.

"Teacher, you are doing Jiangxia affairs on my behalf, I will go to find Mr. Cheng."

Guoyuan was stunned: "What are you going to find Cheng Gong?"

"Since Zhang Wei has not been defeated, the court will definitely send reinforcements. Hanzhong has no shortage of troops but generals. In 100, the court will ask Gong Cheng to send troops to the Han River to support him. I want to be reinforcements."

Guoyuan was stunned again, but was amused and laughed: "The Han River Road is difficult to move from the bottom to the top, and there are mountains and rocks all the way, so it is difficult to walk alone. It is the limit to sending three or two thousand reinforcements. What is the use of this situation?"

"Besides, even if you send reinforcements, how could you send you? You are the prefect of Jiangxia! It's not your turn to cross mountains and rivers. If you make any mistakes on the battlefield, how can you tell Gong Cheng to Gong Wei to communicate?"

Cao Zhang shook his head and said, "If others go, I will go. Isn't my so-called prefect Jiangxia just a pure reputation? Aren't you doing this Jiangxia thing for me? My second brother has lost all the face of my Cao family. Shouldn't I make it back?"

As he said that, Cao Zhang sighed and said slowly, "Of course, I am not without selfishness. The second brother's position as the prince must be unstable. Cao Xi and Cao Shu will definitely have some actions. If Cao Shu is really the prince, how can I deal with myself after a hundred years? My father has established himself with military merits. If a junior cannot produce a talent, how can the power and blessing of this first foreign duke in the Han Dynasty in four hundred years be preserved? Even taking a step back, Isn't it human nature to say that as the second son, I have some desire for the position of the prince? Isn't this just a fight with my life, so why be afraid!"

"But...but how could Mr. Cheng agree to send you?"

"The teacher doesn't need to persuade me anymore. I have decided to let Mr. Cheng follow me."

Guoyuan was helpless and knew that he could not stop him, but he could only let him do it. Anyway, he thought Cheng Yu would never let the young master do such a child no matter what.

So just a few days later, Guoyuan heard that Cao Zhang held two sharp blades, one on Cheng Yu's neck and the other on his neck, begging Cheng Yu to send him to Hanzhong as reinforcements.

Why do you feel like Cao Zhang is even more chaotic than Cao Pi?

But it is not a joke to say that the Han River is difficult to travel. Although I don’t need to go by boat and worry about supply issues, I went upstream and it was really far better than Ziwu Valley. In history, Sima Yi had taken this waterway to attack Hanzhong, but before he could get to the place, he gave up and returned in shame.

Cao Zhang led less than a thousand people on a boat and encountered difficulties and obstacles. Shoals and cliffs seemed to be unable to get up unless they turned into fish or birds. The soldiers under him all retreated. However, Cao Zhang took off his armor and jumped off the boat first, stabilizing his body, but laughed and said, "The stream here is not deep and just reached the chest. Brothers all came down. Let's carry the boat and climb up."

As he said that, Cao Zhang waded the water and walked to the front of the ship first and said, "Any place that is difficult to sail, I must be able to walk. I walk in the front. If there is any deep pit or suddenly deep water, drown me first! If there is any steep and difficult place that needs to be climbed, I will also climb you first."

As he said that, Cao Zhang walked to the front and began to greet everyone and carry the boat.

The soldiers below were helpless for a moment. No matter how little Jiangxia was, Cao Zhang was the prefect of two thousand stones and the second son of Mr. Wei. The gap in identity was too great that although these soldiers no longer wanted to leave, they had to bite the bullet and get off the ship.

Anyway, after these more than 800 people finally arrived in Hanzhong, there were only 600 left. The rest of them did not die at the hands of the enemy, but they all died on the road.

Thanks to Cao Zhang's true words and leadership, otherwise he would not be able to continue on the way. Even when he sent troops, Liu Xie's order had not arrived yet, and he was sending troops without authorization, so his speed was even ahead of Cheng Yin's candidate and others.

But at this time, the form of Hanzhong is indeed really complicated.

But that day, Lu Bu missed the best opportunity to kill Zhang Wei with the help of Zhuge Liang, and let Zhang Wei escape back to Nanzheng successfully, but he didn't care about the fact that the spring plowing had not ended, so he hurriedly recruited his ghost soldiers everywhere.

Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei are indeed well-managed in Hanzhong. His soldiers are called ghost soldiers and have been instilled with religious chicken soup by Zhang Lu on weekdays. The reason why Taoism can be passed down for more than two thousand years is indeed his reason. Of course, this is because Zhang Lu treats the people of Hanzhong very well, and he manages Hanzhong in this chaotic world like a paradise. Therefore, when Zhang Wei began to summon soldiers, he quickly gathered the people near Nanzheng. Han Sui and Lu Bu really distrust each other, so he accidentally delayed three or four days, but they had missed the best time to attack Zhang Wei.

So Han Sui waited and wasted. Lu Bu was just putting all his main forces in Yangping Pass and refused to send troops no matter what. Seeing that Zhang Wei recruited more and more soldiers in Nanzheng, he was about to form combat power, and finally he couldn't hold back.

After all, what he wants is people, and what Lu Bu wants is land. The two have different strategic goals. Moreover, there is the entire Yizhou behind Lu Bu. No matter how long he holds it, someone will transport him food. But what about him? His base camp is actually in Liangzhou, and Wudu County, which is closer to Hanzhong, is not familiar with him at all. Could it be that he would transport grain from Jincheng? Besides, he, a Han man, has now become the actual co-lord of the Qiang Di, and that is to lead everyone to wealth. The Qiang people make money in wars, so how can they still spend money?

Bah! Lu Bu, you are a little girl who forgets your righteousness when you see profit and is not trustworthy. She is clearly aware of my life gate and is forcing me to submit!

Hope, he really can't waste Lu Bu.

But if Lu Bu really has this vision, why did he and me do this? I wonder if the court will have reinforcements soon? You have no problem with me. If anyone else will be on guard against me, but you are not so afraid of you. You are obviously trying to die together!

Is this Lu Bu smart or stupid?

There was really nothing he could do, and Han Sui had to bite the bullet and admit defeat to Lu Bu. OK, okay, I'll fight Zhang Wei. You are still practicing cultivation and preserving your strength at Yangping Pass, right?

However, he himself had to stay in Yangping Pass and refused to leave easily, for fear that Lu Bu would not let him come back as soon as he left, so he had to let his son-in-law Yan Xing lead 20,000 Xiliang Qiang and Han troops to attack Nanzheng.

After two rounds, Zhang Wei and Yan Xing's soldiers were almost the same.

If it was Lu Bu, the fight might be smoother. After all, Lu Bu was still a Han man no matter what, and Lu Bu would still rule this place in the future, so he would definitely be more civilized. But what about Han Sui's Qiang-Han coalition forces? It is not uncommon to massacre the city.

So, for a moment, men, women, young and old worked together to help Zhang Wei resist Yan Xing. Although Zhang Wei's military ability was relatively average and his soldiers' quality was not as good as the world-famous Western Liang Iron Cavalry, Nan Zheng still had a city wall, which could be blocked. So everyone was in a stalemate. When Cao Zhang crossed the mountains and ridges, he was almost carrying a boat all the way. When it was almost dusk, he came to support him. He happened to see the dense Yan Xing army outside Nan Zheng City.

The personal soldiers said: "It's broken, the Xiliang army has already besieged the city, and we can't get in."

Cao Zhang was overjoyed: "It's great, Zhang Wei is still sticking to it."

After saying that, Cao Zhang ordered the entire army to retreat quietly and not move. He climbed up the mountain with his personal guards and observed the terrain.

"You see, the military discipline of the Xiliang army is very ordinary. The camps are all over the east and west. It is obviously stationed according to each tribe or the powerful. Only the camps in the east have deer antler defense, and the other two sides are loose and loose, and only the water and not the mountains are not. It is clearly a hasty construction."

"Young Master, you don't want to rob the camp. We only have six hundred people, and we are all infantry. Even if we attack the enemy camp at night, there are no infantry to do this."

"Soldiers are more important than elites. Look, today is cloudy and it will be dark in a while. Look at the wind, the wind blows north, which is just right for us to set fire. I predict that the enemy camp in such a hurry must have no fire prevention items, at least there must be no one in the back camp. You will follow me to set fire, which will definitely cause the thief army to be in chaos, and they cannot take into account both the head and tail. At that time, General Zhang will definitely lead his troops out of the city to fight. Isn't this a great victory?"

When the guards heard this, they all looked embarrassed, thinking that you thought beautifully, but will it really go so smoothly?

It is true that these soldiers sent by Cheng Yu to Cao Zhang are really elite soldiers. If they have a horse under their crotch, they really dare to follow Cao Zhang crazy, but their legs are stuck in the enemy camp, and it is easy to get out, but it is difficult to get in. This is to completely pin the hope on setting fire. What if the fire cannot be burned? What should I do if I can't find flammable materials?

Besides, Zhang Wei is still a surrendered general, and he is a full-time Taoist priest, and part-time general. Who knows whether he is reliable? Just dive in like this. If Zhang Wei doesn't come out at that time, wouldn't they be wiped out and they have no place to run away?

Cao Zhang also knew the concerns of these soldiers and shouted: "Everyone, this battle is a battle of face-to-face by my Cao family. I must fight. I will not count it with you. If this battle is won, I will be the prince of the Great Wei. My father has a fief of 100,000 households, and it will be mine in the future. I have money. I promise that I will give you 50 new Jian'an money to pay for your soldiers who died in the battle. Your children, brothers, and family members. I will let my father take it to Yecheng to support you. Those who can be officials will be officials, and those who cannot be officials will be rich. If you can survive with me, I will never let you eat fish in this life. Come on, no matter whether you live or die after this battle, I will let your descendants have no worries about food and clothing! Zhao Erniu!"

"exist."

"You are from Zhijiang, right? You have an old lady above and a sister below. I remember you told me that your sister is very beautiful. If you die and I am still alive, I will go to your house to propose marriage and marry your sister. Does your sister feel wronged as my wife?"

"No, no grievance."

"Li Dabang?"

"exist."

"You are from Yundu. I remember you have a six-year-old son. If you die, your son will be my son. I will let him go to school, send him to school, ask him to marry a wife, and tell him that his father is an amazing hero."

"There are also Sun Zhuang, Luo Zhuo, Liu Hei..."

After a while, Cao Zhang actually reported the names of more than 600 people one by one, and everyone's origin and family situation were all well aware of.

It's not in vain that these heroes accompanied him through mountains and rivers and carried boats and boats.

"Today, you will help my Cao family earn face with your lives. In the future, I will use the Cao family to protect you from your wealth. Do you really want to follow me to kill the enemy?"

Seeing that Cao Zhang was talking about this, what else could hesitate? Besides, Cao Zhang reported everyone's hometown. If he didn't obey the orders, would he have any good results to eat?

The clever one immediately knelt down and said, "I wish to fight with the prince!"

"I wish to fight with the prince!"

"I wish to fight with the prince!"

Seeing this, Cao Zhang burst into laughter and immediately ordered everyone to prepare something that caused the fire. When the entire army was ready, he opened the package again, pulled out a large red and black banner, with a golden thread on it, and a large Cao character was written on it.

The only Duke of the different surname after the White Horse Alliance in the 400th year of the Han Dynasty, Cao!
